the word is from the set of the tornado movie RA is currently filming– he is now clean-shaven. That’s right, for now at least, the beard is gone.
I am guessing Judiang is celebrating with great joy and Hedgeypig is dancing on the tables in utter rapture.
So, I am guessing Richard Armitage currently looks something like this:
Now I like bearded Armitage, but I do think it will be nice if moviegoers can see him on the big screen in all his clean-shaven glory, too. In case you need further reminders of what was under the beard . . .
Breaks into song… “Ding dong the beard is dead!” LOL
I’m with Judiang & Hedgey……..He is far too handsome to hide that face behind a beard!
LOL I figure there will be a number of people who will be happy. It’s been quite a while since we have seen him without a beard, when you think about it. I do want people to experience Mr. A in all his beauteous looks.
Servetus won’t be happy…
No . . . but the beard will be back for a while when they do the additional shooting for TH. And perhaps for other future roles. So she shouldn’t mourn too much yet. And she will have lots of Thorin to make her happy.
Very true! 3 (?) movies worth of Thorin!
I hope “clean-shaven” means “some stubble”. *sigh*
*I’m not going to *thud**
*I’m not going to *thud**
*I’m not going to *thud**
I would think someone in the middle of the devastation of a tornado just might not get around to shaving . . . hence some manly stubble. We like manly stubble.
Me likey stubble!! Yum yum.. OK I’ll stop being silly.Promise!
Ah, go ahead and be silly. It’s allowed.
Stubble … manly, yes! But I like it too!
*giggle*
Of course it is. “Yum yum…” indeed!
II was thinking the exact same thing when I first read it. Great minds and all that…lol.
Zan, I am totally with you! Clean shaven should definitely mean stubble!
As much as I love the beard, I’m swooning a little at the thought.
Want my *thud* blanket?
I miss a little Guy’s stubble
He still has it, Nadia. The stubble. And everything else . . . *sigh* The sexy devil.
I have forgotten the exclamation points !!!!
Yep I read the goods news this morning and I am happy. Are there pictures of RA on the set?
Not that I’ve seen yet. Someone on Facebook who is working on the movie actually ran into him–literally –and he had to grab her to keep her from falling in some water, I believe it was. She apologized and he smiled and said, “No problem.” She said he was very nice. *sigh*
Did this person mention if Richard is asking for me?……..
Hmmmm. No, don’t think so. I think she was preoccupied with not falling on her face.
Well I am off to pick up Mommy from the bus station now. She is visiting me until Sunday. Have a great rest of the day and if Richard starts asking for me in Michigan PLEASE give him my phone number. It is area code 518 Mrs-Armitage.
Hope you enjoy your visit with your mom.
I made the happy dance when I read about it *big grin*.
I wouldn’t mind Guy-stubble either…or if he lets his hair grow a bit more, at least Lucas’ S8 length.
OML
I am hoping for a bit of manly stubble. Love it.
I loved the beard, but I’ll be very happy to see all of his face again after so long…his beautiful mouth, the strong, masculine jawline…stubble definitely welcome!!
When the first picture of him appears without the beard I’ll be needing a *thud* blanket too. Like jas, I’m already swooning a little just at the thought.
It’s sort of like an old and much-loved friend you haven’t seen in a long time . . . “hello, Jawline! Great to see you again!:
Found this on sketchlavie’s tumblr, with the line, “the last glimpse of the glorious beard.”
I hadn’t seen these two in-profile pics of Richard at San Diego airport.

I hadn’t seen those before either, thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Mezz! Gorgeous profile, beautifully shaped head! *swoooooon*
